The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, where the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche took off with a takeoff distance of 742 meters, which was 60% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 66 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots from 270 degrees, resulting in a 20-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed out of Reichelsheim, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 3,729 feet above sea level from an initial altitude of 606 feet. This climb of 3,123 feet was achieved in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile northeast of Niederdorfelden, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.

The enroute descent phase began 1 mile southwest of Offenbach, where the aircraft descended from 4,339 feet to 2,249 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 261.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,903 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 15 meters and a touchdown speed of 47 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -185 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 13.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from 250 degrees, resulting in a 0-knot crosswind and a 19-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 141 meters, which was only 4% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 14.3 meters. The total flight distance was 23 nautical miles, taking 14 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 9 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 89.69 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed on runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, achieving a score of 89.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 261.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,903 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is essential for a safe landing.

Upon reaching the threshold speed of 48 knots, the pilot was reminded to be cautious not to stall, as the speed was well below the target. However, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed, achieving a good touchdown speed of 47 knots. The touchdown distance of 15 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The landing rate of -185 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and maintain control. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a headwind of 19 knots at 250°. The crosswind was negligible, at 0 knots. The total landing distance of 141 meters was only 4% of the runway length, indicating a short and efficient landing.

During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.3 meters from the centerline. While this may require some adjustments, it is not a significant concern, and the pilot's overall performance was satisfactory. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
